Off the line, the Model Y Long Range AWD hits 100 km/h in 5.05 s versus 6.28 s for the Wrangler 4xe. At this point, the Model Y Long Range AWD leads by 1.23 s and sits roughly 10 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD is doing 143 km/h against 128 km/h for the Wrangler 4xe. The gap is 0.82 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Model Y Long Range AWD crosses the line in 13.27 s versus 14.60 s. The 1.33 s gap represents roughly 57 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 197 km/h versus 174 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Model Y Long Range AWD finishes in 23.97 s versus 27.06 s, with a 3.10 s lead.
Both rivals are electronically governed, but not at the same level: the Model Y Long Range AWD is capped at 217 km/h, the Wrangler 4xe at 177 km/h. This isn’t a physical engine limit - it’s a manufacturer choice, usually for tyre safety or homologation reasons. Neither car reaches its true aerodynamic top speed.
With two plug-in hybrid powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (5.22 kg/hp vs 6.37 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 9.90 seconds. The 1.23 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Model Y Long Range AWD wins (5,05 s vs 6,28 s).
Model Y Long Range AWD goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,05 seconds (calibrated simulation).
